Lacri-lube eye Ointment is used for dry eye conditions.Lacri-lube eye ointment contains white soft paraffin, liquid paraffin (also known as mineral oil) and lanolin alcohols (also known as wool alcohols). These ingredients produce a transparent, lubricating and moistening film on the surface of the eyeball.Lacri-lube eye ointment provides soothing relief from the symptoms of dry eyes, such as soreness, irritation or a gritty sensation. These may be caused by your eye not producing enough tears to keep the eye moist, or by things such as certain medical conditions or treatments.The ointment also helps protect the eyeball and can thus be useful for people who suffer from recurrent corneal epithelial erosion.Lacri-lube eye ointment is particularly useful at night as it remains in the eye longer than drops.

This ointment can be used as often as needed. It is particularly helpful for protecting the eyeball at night, because it lubricates the eye for longer than drops. If you are using any other eye drops you should apply them first and then wait for at least five minutes before using this eye ointment. Wash your hands. Sit in front of a mirror so you can see what you are doing. Take the lid off the ointment. Tip your head back. Gently pull down your lower eyelid and look up. Hold the tube above the eye and gently squeeze a 1cm line of ointment along the inside of the lower eyelid, taking care not to touch the eye or eyelashes with the tip of the tube. Blink your eyes to spread the ointment over the surface of the eyeball. Your vision may be blurred when you open your eyes - DON'T rub your eyes. The blurring will clear after a few moments if you keep blinking. Wipe away any excess ointment with a clean tissue. Repeat this procedure for the other eye if you have been advised to do so by your doctor or pharmacist. Replace the lid of the tube. Take care not to touch the tip of the tube with your fingers. If you are using more than one type of ointment, wait for about half-an-hour before using the next ointment, to allow the first to be absorbed into the eye. If you are also using eye drops use them first, then wait for five minutes before applying the eye ointment. When using the eye ointment you should take care not to touch your eye or any surface with the tip of the tube, to avoid contaminating the eye ointment. Lacri-lube eye ointment is sterile until opened. Any remaining medicine should be disposed of four weeks after the first opening, as it is likely to be contaminated with dirt or germs that could cause eye infections. You may find it helpful to write the date of first opening on the packet.
